Guide:
Understanding the Error: The [EB|LOG:EXITBS:START] error typically indicates a problem during the boot process in OpenCore. It may be caused by various factors, including incorrect bootloader configuration, missing or incompatible drivers, or issues with system-specific settings.
Reviewing Crash Log: Analyze the crash log provided to identify any specific error messages or patterns that may point to the root cause of the problem. Look for any references to problematic drivers, kernel extensions, or hardware components.
EFI Configuration Check: Review the EFI folder contents to ensure that all necessary files and drivers are present and properly configured. Pay special attention to the config.plist file, ACPI patches, kexts, and drivers required for your hardware configuration.
Double-Check ACPI Patches: Verify that ACPI patches generated using SSDTTime are correctly applied to your system. ACPI patches are essential for patching system-specific ACPI tables and resolving compatibility issues with macOS.
Verify UEFI Drivers: Ensure that all required UEFI drivers are present in the EFI/OpenCore/Drivers folder and correctly referenced in the config.plist file. Commonly required drivers include OpenRuntime.efi, HfsPlus.efi, and any drivers specific to your hardware.
Check Kernel Extensions (Kexts): Review the kexts included in the EFI/OpenCore/Kexts folder to confirm compatibility with macOS Sonoma. Remove any unnecessary or incompatible kexts and ensure that essential kexts, such as Lilu, WhateverGreen, and VirtualSMC, are present and up-to-date.
Verify Boot Arguments: Check the boot arguments specified in the config.plist file, particularly those related to slide values and MMIO settings. Ensure that the slide value is correctly configured for your system and that any required MMIO patches are applied.
USB Device Configuration: Ensure that the USB device (256GB M.2 USB-C) is properly recognized and configured for booting macOS Sonoma. Verify that it is connected to a compatible USB port and that any necessary USB-related kexts or drivers are included in the EFI folder.
Testing and Debugging: After making any necessary adjustments to your EFI configuration, attempt to boot your Hackintosh again and monitor the boot process for any errors or inconsistencies. Use verbose mode (-v) to view detailed boot logs and identify any remaining issues.
Seeking Community Support: If you encounter persistent issues or require further assistance, consider reaching out to the Hackintosh community forums or Discord channels for additional troubleshooting help. Experienced users may be able to provide insights or solutions based on your specific hardware configuration and error logs.
Documentation and Persistence: Keep detailed records of your EFI configuration changes, error messages, and troubleshooting steps taken. Persistence and thorough documentation are key to Success fully resolving complex issues in Hackintosh setups.
Hey all, I've been trying for days to get past this error. [EB|LOG:EXITBS:START] When I added the OpenVariableRuntimeDxe.efi file, it presented a new error Secure Boot, which I easily remedied but now has brought me back here, so I'm not sure if it did anything(hence why I removed it). I have used SSDTTime and done all the work arounds in Dortania's guide. Initially fixed slide error with MMIO but I have since updated SSDT, so I'm not sure if it stuck. Tried following various reddit posts and TonyMac posts for Lenovo laptops and others who have had this issue, but to no avail.
I'm new to OpenCore but I used to Hackintosh a lot back in 2014 with Clover and Chimera. Clover is the next step but I keep reading that OpenCore is a dream once it is set up.
